arguably the best two months of my life and this
photo just holds that as a memory for me.”
Photography is an art form and creativity
follows art. When asked why he takes photos,
“I honestly don’t know. I’ve always been
creative, and photography is a creative outlet
for me. It gets me out and about, I can apply it
to my interests, and it allows me to meet new
people. It’s hard to say why I do it. There are all
these small things that I love about it, I guess I
just enjoy capturing and sharing my perspective
on things.”

And to top it off, what makes a good photo?
“The concept of a 'g ood photo' is very
subjective. One person might look a photo and
think its the best, others might think its trash.
Obviously there’s basic technical and
conceptual guidelines on taking a ‘good’ photo,
but there has to be a meaning behind it. It
should show emotion and engage the viewer,
but its up to the photographer on how they
convey this. Realistically it should just be an
insight into your perception of a subject, you
can polish it with editing all you want, but
ultimately it will be the engagement between
the photographer and the subject. A good photo
is timeless.”
